An old elephant was watched by the Green Eye as it died. Its body was transformed into a place.
Time and space are confused there. Cultural symbols from different regions mingle and generate different worlds.
They say that anyone afraid of death can see a red sea and rain that never stops.
A bear-like person named EarFish sometimes passes through this place, and always notices a cat-like person named Burning Claws.
“What are you doing here?”
“Looking for the Green Eye.”
“You are a cat. You are red-green color-blind. You cannot find something green.”
“…But I have no other choice. Can you tell me how to find it?”
“Why?”
“Because, like you, I must also have been watched by the Green Eye.”
“That is not a reason.”
“Catherine Wall is my daughter. I cannot find her. Perhaps the Green Eye can lead me to her.”
“I can cross time and space, but that is not enough. We can only wait for the next person to appear.”
“How long?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then I will wait here, until I am alive again.”
That is the legend of the Dead Elephant. If you choose to believe it, being alive may hurt a little less.
